Hello Krzysztof,
what a beautiful colour composition with the main object in the centre of the yellow explosion.
The main focus is just here and brings up the clouded yellow very sharp.
Light exposure and colours are perfect.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Krzysztof , great composition with splendid butterfly and lovely flowers, superb colors, great details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

A perfect match in colours, Chris. The yellow butterfly looks quite distinct against the yellow marigold flowers.
Very precise focus and superb details on the wings.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Krzysztof,
this is marvelous - an explosion of the colours, I love it!
This butterfly is one of the most beautiful ones we have here in Europe - for me!
I have some shots of it sitting on a violet flower, that's also pretty.
Thanks for yours, very well done,

Hello Krzysztof,
This is a fine study in yellows and orange!
The Clouded Yellow itself is razor sharp and is well composed among the tagetes flowers in excellent lighting.
Well done and TFS1

Hello Krzysztof
What a beautiful conjunction of yellows! You didn't approach the butterfly too much for a good and beautiful composition. The sharpness is great and details on the wings are perfecly in sight. Magnificent focus, DOF and exposure.
Bravo!
Greetings
Maite


I'll be back with points :)

Hi Krzysztof,

Nice change of scenery from cold landscapes to warm macros. This is a great example of a macro shot, great level of detail and sharpness, perfect pov and dof and the colours and light are simply stunning. Great posting.

bonjour krzysztof
je n'ai pas vu beaucoup de colias cette année!

le papillon et sa fleur sont nets,personellement je pense que j'aurais recoupé un peu l'image.

Hi Krzysztof

Apparently i've missed this one, but luckly i saw it now and i was amazed of how great yellow looks on yellow :)
This is indeed a very striking picture, one that grabs your attention right from the thumbnail. It also acts great in this time of the year, to bring back all those vivid colors of the summer...ahh...i sure miss them.
I really like the DOF - one that makes the butterfly stand out so well, as well as the spot-on focus that brought the great sahrpness of the details.
Very good exposure management, too, all placed in a charming composition.
A great addition to your already impressive list of coutries ;)

Bravo and TFS
